起亚正在继续对更大的三排座SUVTelluride进行测试，该车将于今年晚些时候或明年初投产并将作为2020款车型上市。这辆车的定位在索兰托之上，内部可搭乘八名乘客，未来还将推出七座版本。最新拍到的照片显示，虽然车身伪装依旧很多，遮住了绝大部分设计细节，但预计量产版的很多造型元素都类似概念版车型。车头宽阔的格栅仍在，但前大灯造型看起来已经改变——从原来的水平格栅改为垂直竖条。另外，车门把手也采用了更传统的设计。该车从A柱到D柱的整体设计看起来很硬派。起亚曾在2016年的北美车展发布了Telluride概念车，该车搭载一台270马力3.5升V6引擎和130马力电机，综合功率达到400马力。而未来发布的插电混动版很可能搭载一台3.3升V6双涡轮引擎，功率365马力，扭矩376磅-英尺（约合510牛米），这足以驱动一辆大型SUV。该车很可能采用前轮驱动，但也可提供全驱系统，与引擎搭配的是一台八速自动变速器。该车将提供一些豪华配置，包括一系列安全系统以及电动折叠第三排座椅和360度全景摄像头。Telluride量产版将作为2020款车型于今年晚些时候亮相。
2020 Kia Telluride Spied Looking Large And In Charge
Kia’s large, three-row Telluride SUV is continuing testing ahead of production that should start in late 2018 or early 2019 for the 2020 model year. The SUV, which will slot above the Kia Sorento, will seat eight with a possible seven-seat version coming at a later date.
The new photos don't show much more than what we’ve already seen. The cladding still obscures much of the SUV’s design, though the production version should carry many of the design cues first seen on the concept with a few notable changes. The wide grille is present, but the headlights appear to have changed orientation – from horizontal to vertical. Also, the door handles are a more traditional design. The overall design of the Telluride appears tough due to the the upright A- and D-pillars.
Kia unveiled the Telluride concept at the 2016 Detroit Auto Show where it boasted a 400-horsepower hybrid powertrain that paired a 270-hp 3.5-liter V6 and a 130 HP electric motor. While there may be a PHEV Telluride in the future, the likely powertrain could be the bitrubo 3.3-liter V6. That engine produces 365 hp and 376 pound-feet of torque, which would be enough for the large SUV. The Telluride will likely be front-wheel drive, though it could be offered strictly as an all-wheel-drive vehicle, which should have power delivered through an eight-speed automatic transmission.
The Kia Telluride will offer some luxury touches that will help separate it from the Sorento. Luxury features, which should include a host of safety technologies, could consist of an electrically folding third row to a 360-degree camera.
The production version of the 2020 Kia Telluride should debut later this year.
